The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical cure of miconazole Lauriad 50 mg (1x50mg) Bioadhesive buccal tablets compared with clotrimazole troches (5x10mg) after 14 days of treatment (at the test of cure visit, at Day 17-19).

A Comparative Randomized, Double-blind, Double-Dummy, Multicenter Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Miconazole Lauriad 50mg Administered Once a Day and Mycelex Troches (Clotrimazole 10mg) Administered Five Times a Day in the Treatment of Oropharyngeal Candidiasis in Immunocompromised Patients

Clinical Cure (Defined as a Complete Resolution of Signs and Symptoms) After 14 Days of Treatment at the Test of Cure Visit (Day 17-Day 22) Using Murray Scoring Scale [ Time Frame: 17 to 22 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Murray scoring scale range: extent of oral lesions (signs) 0 (none) to 3 (extensive or confluent), ordinal; symptoms (soreness/burning) 0 (absent) to 3 (severe), ordinal. Clinical success was defined as clinical cure or clinical improvement. Partial response is having decrease in Murray extent of oral lesions score by at least 1 level and a stable Murray symptoms score, with partial symptom response defined as having a decrease in the Murray symptoms (soreness/burning) score by at least 1 level and a stable Murray extent of oral lesions score, and partial clinical/symptom response defined as decrease in Murray extent of oral lesions score by at least 1 level and a decrease in the Murray symptoms (soreness/burning) score by at least 1 level

Mycological Cure at the Test of Cure Visit (Day 17-22) [ Time Frame: 17 to 22 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Mycological cure was defined as a patient who had "no yeast isolated" when oral specimens were cultured for fungi.

Relapse at the Late Post-Therapy Visit (Day 35-38) [ Time Frame: 35 to 38 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

"Number of patients" represents the number of participants who completed visit 6 (the late post-therapy visit on Days 35-38) and had been a clinical success at test-of-cure visit (visit 5). For this subset of participants, relapse was defined as a patient who responded to treatment by clinical cure or improvement (i.e., "clinical success") on Days 17-22 at the test-of-cure visit (visit 5) and subsequently had an increase in the extent of oral lesions or symptoms, as assessed at the late post-therapy visit on Days 35-38 (visit 6). No relapse indicates participants who were considered a "clinical success" at visit 5 and did not have a subsequent increase in the extent of oral lesions or symptoms, as assessed at the late post-therapy visit (visit 6). The remaining number of participants in the Intent-to-Treat population who did not meet the criteria for relapse assessment at visit 6 is listed under "Not Analyzed-ITT".

The mean durations of adhesion from initiation of treatment to Day 14 of miconazole Lauriad 50 mg mucoadhesive buccal tablet (or, in the case of the Clotrimazole troches treatment arm, the placebo mucoadhesive buccal tablet) were rounded to the nearest hour
